[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 223311, member: 3111"] Pan the whole creek at intervals of 20m ozziii right in the centre of it and sample / pan each layer downwards till you hit the clay. Also sample a couple of inches of the clay too but can be tedious. Make certain that that clay you found IS the bottom. You can get false bottoms along sections of creeks which you dig through and onto gravel again. Look at the side walls of the creek and look for alluvial layers and vertical cracks / faults in the clay. A clay creek have dug can hold good gold in a 10m stretch and then nothing for 300m in either direction decieving you to think no good gold is there. I can guarantee you will find a dip / gutter / hole that you will be weist or chest deep in with very nice gold. [/QUOTE]
